I was never swear what an absolutely brilliant singer Lainey Kazan was. And for someone who started in the early 60s, her voice was still amazing in the 90s. 1:08
So called "Lainie Kazan" was not her real name. She was Lainie Levine. Another apparent example of Hollywood deception & perceived greater monetary gain. Changing one's birthname also shows parental disrespect.
Such beautiful rendition! I've been looking for a studio version of it, shame I couldn't find it yet. Ella's and Nat King Cole's versions are very good too.
I didn't understand why Barbra wouldn't even make a cameo on the show. There were several episodes practically written around Fran's love of her. It was interesting how Rosalyn had a joke when she appeared on the show about how Barbra hadn't given her her new number - I wonder if that was really a joke lol.
